Full page ad? I just got a full page ad when visiting GameDev. Is this a new addition, or is it a javascript payload the piggybacked on a normal ad? (It was one of those "Chrome fast" Googe Chrome ads) Just curious - I actually wouldn't mind if GD...

Web archiving? What software do you use to archive websites? If I want to archive a site, so I can view it while my internet connection is down, what would you use? Wikipedia has a decent list of such services, but I have no clue which are good or not. I'd pr...

RPGs / Action RPGs - What do you like in em? I'm working on a 2D sandbox RPG (inspired by the 2d zelda games, Quest 64, and Elderscrolls III: Morrowind), and I'm conducting some research for it. (It'll have turn based battles, with an 'action timer' like the Final Fantasy games) I'd gre...

A+ Certification - how difficult is it? Hey, I'm looking at getting A+ certifified, merely because most the tech-support jobs in my area seem to require it. I don't have a formal education, all my knowledge is self-taught through online articles and books, and I'm wondering how diffic...

Commenting in tight loops If it's too deeply nested, consider refactoring the loop, or the contents of the loop, into it's own function. Most of the time, my own loops are understandable enough that I just comment what the loop itself is doing, and not the contents of the...

SDL_rotozoom. How do I use it? Quote:Original post by CheddarCheese I tried getting the middle point of the character by doing Playerx = (x1+x2)/2 and Playery = (y1+y2)/2. PlayerCenterX = PlayerX + (playerRotatedSprite->w / 2); PlayerCenterY = PlayerY + (playerRotatedSprite-...

SDL_rotozoom. How do I use it? Do you know how to use a debugger, and step through the program? Are you sure 'player' loaded correctly, or are does load_image() return a NULL value? Are you sure '0' is a valid parameter for the 4th parameter of rotozoomSurface()? I've nev...
